Got out on a small lake this afternoon with John, who I met online this week who just got a new tube and was trying it for the first time. He took to it like a duck (or a tuber?) to water! he got some nice fish, crappies , sunfish , and a few bass showed up to play!

[cool][#0000ff]Good stuff. Thanks for sharing.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]Always good to see a newbie get "well launched". I don't know how many times over the years I have heard new tubers say that they will never fish any other way...and that they kick themselves for waiting so long to try it.[/#0000ff]

[#0000ff]I share your love for bass and panfish from a tube. I have caught hundreds of species of fish, of all sizes, but I still get my enjoys from rasslin' with those little rascals.[/#0000ff]

larry the largemouth pulls me around! --- needs to be shown to all people wondering if they would like tubing or not.

Honestly, after tubing for more than a year myself and watching that video -- is there really any other way to fish that could provide anything like that???

How did you capture that video? From a helmet cam or something?

I would like to get a head cam that would be cool! Nope I was doing some serious multi tasking, holding the camera in one hand and the rod in the other! That was the reason for the unorthodox landing with my feet! I didn't have a free hand to grab the net! [sly][cool]

Neat idea....feets landing "net"![]

Congratulations on your first tubed fish. It's amazing what God's little creatures can stir up for us when we meet them on their turf. I also have the FishCat4. It's a nice little craft.[cool]

Oh man I miss warmwater species, thanks for sharing looks like fun. I just went on my first float tube trip ever....I'm hooked!

Welcome aboard IowaIce. Thanks for sharing here with us and congrats on your first tubing trip.

Tubing is so much fun.

We look forward to your fishing reports in the future. We all would like to know how you do out there.

What kind of Craft do you have???[cool]

That is cool. I have the same tube. Only thing is, mine is almost 4 years old. It is a really good tube and very durable.[cool]
